# Octave control package
This is the official repository for the control package for GNU Octave.
## About
The **control** package is a collection of functions for control systems design and analysis.
As of 24.03.2023, the developemnt of the **control** package was moved from [SourceForge](https://sourceforge.net/p/octave/control/ci/default/tree/) and [Mercurial](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mercurial) to [GitHub](https://github.com/gnu-octave/pkg-control) and [Git](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Git).

- [Documentation](https://gnu-octave.github.io/pkg-control)
## Used Library SLICOT
Control uses some routines of the [SLICOT-Reference library](https://github.com/SLICOT/SLICOT-Reference) (Copyright (c) 2020, SLICOT). The sources of the used routines are included in the released control package archive `control-x.y.z.tar.gz` in the directory `src/slicot-src` and are compiled for the target system while installing the control package for Octave.
The SLICOT files are available under the *BSD 3-Clause License* which can be found
- in the file `src/slicot-src/LICENSE` (together with README files) in the package archive `control-x.y.z.tar.gz`,
- in the file `doc/SLICOT/LICENSE` (together with README files) in the package installation directory, or
- in the [SLICOT-Reference repository](https://github.com/SLICOT/SLICOT-Reference/blob/main/LICENSE).
## Installing the control package
### Installing released package version
The easiest way to install the newest control package is to type
`pkg install control`
For installing a certain version x.y.z of the control package, you may
- download the package archive file `control-x.y.z.tar.gz` of one of the [releases](https://github.com/gnu-octave/pkg-control/releases) and install it by typing
`pkg install control-x.y.z.tar.gz` or
- directly issue the command `pkg install "https://github.com/gnu-octave/pkg-control/releases/download/control-x.y.z/control-x.y.z.tar.gz"`
### Creating and installing package archives from the sources
You can also clone this repository (using the option `--recurse-submodules` since SLICOT is included as git submodule) and build the package archive file by yourself. For this, you can use the following commands:
- `make dist`
Create the package archive file in the directory `target` which can be installed in Octave afterwards
- `make install`
Install the package
- `make help`
Show all targets for `make`
